the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you can
turn
it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once
you have
avoided the object. You must then be prepared to steer
back to your original lane and then brake to a controlled
stop.
Depending on your speed, this can be rather violent for
an unprepared driver. This is
one of the reasons driving
experts recommend that
you use your safety belts and
keep both hands on the steering wheel.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible
is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times.

Remove the theft deterrent wheel nut, by placing the key
end of the wire wheel key wrench over the nut and
turning it to the left.
Pull the wire wheel cover. Note: When replacing the
wheel cover, carefully line up the tire valve stem and the
notch in the wheel cover. Using the wheel wrench, loosen
all the
wheel nuts.
Don’t remove them yet. Next, attach the wheel wrench
to the bolt
on the end of the jack. Raise the jack a little
by rotating the wheel wrench clockwise (to the right).
